Hi All, We have been looking at the whole area of data protection and now have good handle on the GDPR compliance as this will hit all doing business with the compliance requirements with the European Union. We further have been surprised by the ignorance displayed by the local organisations be it a ngo, public sector operator or a private enterprise. Furthermore, if not taken seriously a very small process fix could hamper your business, and the fines related to GDPR are hefty from the European Union. If anybody requires help in being compliant we are offering to audit their business and provide recommendations as part of our cyber security practice.

Wow!
According the data from UNCTAD Website <http://unctad.org/en/Pages/DTL/STI_and_ICTs/ICT4D-Legislation/eCom-Data-Protection-Laws.aspx> 23 (43%) African countries have put in place comprehensive privacy and data protection laws. Kenya led by CIPIT contested the adoption of the AU Convention on cyber security and data protection in 2014 and lobbied other Member States to reject it. Does it mean that up to now we don’t even have anything in the kitchen? I understand the data protection bill 2009 was copied verbatim from the EU Directive 95/46/EC on the Protection of Personal Data which is being replaced by the GDPR as from May 2018. Don’t you think we need to do something in the absence of anything cooking?

I think the bill lapsed?
It should be a critically bill to be passed. I’m hoping that the community can review this bill again and possibly make representations to the house.

Dear All,
Could someone kindly provide me with a link to the Privacy and Data Protection Bill? I read somewhere from this forum that it is in Parliament awaiting to be passed.
Thanks
